Earthbound Wii U Listed On Amazon UK

earthbound

Amazon UK has put up a listing for Earthbound for Wii U and has priced it up at £44.99. This could be a simple mistake by the popular online retailer, or we could see Nintendo release the entire Mother series on the Wii U. Alternatively, Nintendo could be planning an HD entry in the Earthbound series for Wii U, but this seems fairly unlikely. Do you think there’s a possibility of Nintendo releasing the entire Mother series physically on Wii U?

Thanks, Wailord

Amazon Canada Lists Deadpool For Wii U

Deadpool, an action-adventure game based on characters from the Deadpool comic book franchise, was previously thought to be coming to the Wii U, though rumors were quickly dismissed, and the game was only confirmed for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. But based on a recent listing made by Amazon Canada, the game is coming to Nintendo’s console. However, this can only be classified as a rumor until publisher Activision confirms whether the Wii U will be getting the game. Deadpool will be released on June 25th.

Amazon has put up a listing of “New Super Luigi” for the Nintendo 3DS. The game the online retailer is referring to is actually called New Super Luigi U, and it’s not a Nintendo 3DS game – it’s not even a full game; it’s downloadable content for people who own a copy of Wii U-exclusive New Super Mario Bros. U. When New Super Luigi U is released later this year, Luigi will be able to traverse through levels that were specifically designed for his abilities.

Amazon France has put up a listing for Splinter Cell: Blacklist for Wii U. The stealth orientated title has long been rumoured to be coming to the Wii U. The last hint we had was found via a Ubisoft employees LinkedIn profile which stated that he is working on Splinter Cell: Blacklist for Wii U, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Hopefully Ubisoft should announce something soon.
